After Winters angered Saxon (actually the Master), Saxon ordered Winters killed by one of the Toclafane. His death signaled the start of the Toclafane occupation of Earth. (DW: The Sound of Drums)

Behind the Scenes
Upon meeting the Toclafane, Winters refers to himself as "President-Elect", suggesting that he has recently won an election but has not yet been sworn in. However, during The Sound of Drums, he is referred to as "President" numerous times and by different characters (The Doctor, "Saxon", Trinity Wells and others) and once time is reset near the end of Last of the Time Lords, UNIT can be heard over the radio saying they've just seen "the President" killed.
Explanations for this could be the character being nervous and/or confused in front of the Toclafane, or Russell T. Davis not understanding the meaning of the term "president-elect".
